Lyrics: Some Of Shelly's Blues

(Michael Nesmith)

Tell me, just one more time,
The reasons why you must leave.
Tell me once more why you're sure you don't need me.
Tell me again, but don't think that you'll convince me.

Now you've said, before falling in love again
You'd rather be dead.
'Cause when someone breaks your heart
You cry your eyes read.
But there's nothin' so hard about the life that you've lead

As far as I can see there's no reason for "goodbyes."
You're just running scared and that's something I won't buy.

So you lose
I won't let you go with nothing to show but more blues.
And all this talk about leavin' is strictly bad news.
So you settle down and stay with the man that loves you.

As far as I can see there's no reason for "goodbyes."
You're just running scared and that's something I won't buy.

So you lose
I won't let you go with nothing to show but more blues.
And all this talk about leavin' is strictly bad news.
So you settle down and stay with the man that loves you.
You settle down and stay with the man that loves you.
